Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for week 10. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J host the NFL Week 10 Props edition of RJ Bell's Dream Preview, opening with the early Berlin matchup between the Colts and Falcons. Sleepy starts by betting Daniel Jones under 243.5 passing yards, citing Atlanta's top-ranked pass defense and expectation of a run-heavy, clock-chewing game featuring Jonathan Taylor. Munaf agrees, benches Jones in fantasy, and counters with Baker Mayfield over 246.5 passing yards versus New England, arguing the Patriots' rush D is elite but their secondary vulnerable. Sleepy concurs, noting Tampa's bye week prep and New England's difficulty stopping air attacks. Moving to rushing props, Sleepy doubles up: Daniel Jones over 15.5 and Josh Allen over 26.5 rushing yards, both facing heavy blitz teams (Falcons, Dolphins) that force quarterbacks to scramble. Munaf supports the logic and shifts to Christian McCaffrey over 50.5 receiving yards against the Rams, highlighting his consistent over trend, matchup history, and integral passing role. Sleepy backs the pick, expecting San Francisco to trail and throw often. On receivers, Sleepy picks Rome Odunze over 3.5 receptions (-145), predicting a “squeaky wheel” response after Odunze's father publicly complained about his lack of targets; he expects a bounce-back game against the Giants' poor secondary. Munaf echoes that, expecting early targets and likely over by halftime. He then takes Amon-Ra St. Brown over 80.5 receiving yards vs. Washington, noting Detroit's offensive rebound spot, his four straight 86+ yard games, and heavy target share. Sleepy agrees, warning “never fade Amon-Ra,” then adds Zach Ertz over 34.5 receiving yards for the injury-depleted Commanders, expecting Mariota's tight end usage. Munaf approves and adds Dalton Schultz over 34.5 receiving yards vs. Jacksonville, pointing out the Jaguars' vulnerability to tight ends and Davis Mills' reliance on Schultz. Touchdown section: Munaf picks Rome Odunze (+155), Jackson Dart (+170), and Aaron Jones (+105), forecasting scoring from dynamic playmakers and dump-off opportunities. Sleepy goes contrarian, taking longshot Jaguars tight ends Johnny Munt (+850) and Alan Trammell (+800) due to injuries thinning Jacksonville's depth. Their agreed best bet: Marvin Harrison Jr. over 55.5 receiving yards vs. Seattle, backed by Brissett's deep passing confidence, expected trailing script, and Harrison's big-play potential (96 yards last week). Sleepy endorses, citing Brissett's freedom to air it out and Harrison's earlier 66-yard game vs. Seattle. The show closes with promos: use coupon “SWEEP50” at Pregame.com for $50 off NFL/CFB season packages and Sleepy's $299 college basketball package. Both hosts expect profits and emphasize their prop track record, wrapping with optimism for Week 10 and anticipation for Week 11's follow-up show. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contests for Week 10. NFL Week 10 brought the trio of Munaf Manji, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers together once again on RJ Bell's Dream Preview to dissect contest standings and serve up their best bets. After Week 9's modest 1–2 showing, optimism was high for a bounce back. Munaf opened with updates from the Circa Survivor, Circa Grandissimo, and SuperContest leaderboards: 288 eliminations last week left 1,769 Survivor entries alive, each now worth an implied $10,587, while 11 Grandissimo survivors chase over $627,000 apiece. The Circa Millions and SuperContest “top five” consensus picks continued to flounder at below 40% against the spread — a reminder that fading public favorites remains profitable. Shifting to picks, Dave “Uncle Dave” Essler led off with the Rams (+4.5) against the banged-up 49ers, citing Los Angeles' superior defense, healthier roster, and underrated Matthew Stafford performance from their previous matchup. Mackenzie agreed, noting the Niners' injuries and questioning San Francisco's home-field edge in a rivalry where both fanbases travel. Munaf joined the chorus, backing the Rams and highlighting Stafford's MVP-caliber form. Mackenzie's own Week 10 best bet landed on the Denver Broncos (-9) over a weary Raiders squad that had just played a 70-minute overtime thriller. His trend-based handicap pointed to 31 ATS losers in 41 similar short-week, post-OT situations, and he praised Bo Nix's steady climb to mid-tier quarterback status behind Denver's elite line play and defense. Dave and Munaf concurred, calling it a bad situational spot for Las Vegas and predicting a double-digit Denver win. Munaf's best bet was Detroit (-7.5) over Washington, framing it as a “get-right” opportunity after the Lions' stumble versus Minnesota, with Jared Goff's balanced offense poised to torch a Commanders defense that has surrendered 25+ points in four straight. Both co-hosts agreed, pointing to Washington's injuries and lost season. For Survivor contests, the panel leaned Denver, Detroit, and Pittsburgh as safe Week 10 options. Dave endorsed the underdog Steelers (+3) against the Chargers, citing Mike Tomlin's historic ATS success, while Mackenzie doubled down on Denver for his own Survivor pick. Wrapping up, Munaf reminded listeners of Pregame's new College Basketball Contest (with $1,000 in potential prizes) and the “RUSHING50” promo for discounted football subscriptions. The crew signed off with their usual banter about Twitter bans and contest momentum, confident Week 10's sharper reads — Rams grit, Broncos' altitude edge, Lions' rebound — would set a winning tone heading into midseason.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend football and Monday Night Football. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 9, starting with Seattle's 28-0 first-half dominance over Washington behind Sam Darnold's near-perfect performance and Jackson Smith-Njigba's 129-yard night. They discuss NFC West odds, Seattle's legitimacy, and Darnold's resurgence replacing DK Metcalf with new depth. The Commanders regress toward mediocrity while Jaden Daniels' arm injury raises concern. Survivor pool chaos sees major eliminations with the Packers' and Lions' upsets, while Rams and Chargers deliver wins. In betting markets, downgrades hit Houston (due to C.J. Stroud's possible injury), Green Bay after a shocking loss to Carolina, and Indianapolis after six turnovers against Pittsburgh, while the Chargers drop slightly with another lineman injury. Upgrades go to the Panthers, buoyed by Bryce Young's steadiness and Rico Dowdle's run game; the Vikings after upsetting Detroit behind J.J. McCarthy; and the Steelers' steady improvement. The Bills' win over Kansas City restores faith, though the Chiefs still own them in the playoffs, while Josh Allen edges into MVP favorite status despite Matthew Stafford's impressive season and 17 TDs. The conversation shifts to Stafford's elite play, Rams' contention in the NFC West, and how the MVP race could open up beyond Allen or Mahomes. They preview Monday Night Football—Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys—where Jacoby Brissett replaces injured Kyler Murray. Munaf prefers Brissett's current form, citing his efficient recent starts (275+ yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) and the Cowboys' leaky defense, predicting a high-scoring shootout. Mackenzie notes the market swing from Cardinals +2.5 to +3.5 with Murray ruled out but leans to the under before conceding that both teams' defenses point toward the over. Munaf and Mackenzie expect strong passing performances from both quarterbacks, with Brissett's prop at 246.5 yards and Prescott's at 266.5, supported by a trend of opposing QBs torching Dallas' secondary. They propose a same-game parlay: both QBs 250+ yards, over 53.5 total, Cowboys -3.5, paying about +650. They plug Pregame.com's SNAP15 promo for discounted picks and highlight Mackenzie's NBA hot streak, encouraging listeners to grab his season-long NBA package. For best bets, Mackenzie takes the Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 over the Pacers, expecting regression for both teams, while Munaf's top play is Brissett over 35.5 pass attempts, citing his prior games (44 and 36 attempts) and Arizona's reliance on his arm. They close thanking listeners, teasing upcoming contest, survivor, and NBA pods, and expressing excitement for the rest of the NFL and NBA seasons. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers dive into NFL Week 9 contest picks and more. Munaf Manji, Dave Essler & Mackenzie Rivers — Week 9 Contest Breakdown The contest crew returns for Week 9 with sharp eyes on survival, spreads, and smart positioning as the season reaches its midpoint. Munaf Manji opens by unpacking a week of upsets that shredded Survivor pools and exposed pretenders. The Texans' stunning dominance over San Francisco flipped perceptions, and now Munaf, Dave Essler, and Mackenzie Rivers each see opportunity in Houston's steady rise. C.J. Stroud's poise, D'Amico Ryans' structure, and a defense ranked first in scoring make the Texans a favorite against Denver, a team still living off early-season luck. Dave likes Houston outright, pointing to strength of schedule and balance; Mack applauds how Stroud shredded the Niners with short precision throws while controlling tempo for half the game. Munaf agrees — the Texans are playoff material if health holds. Mack then turns to the Colts, laying a field goal in Pittsburgh. The data says Indianapolis is top-six in offensive efficiency while the Steelers sit near the league's bottom ten. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor form a one-two punch under Shane Steichen that keeps defenses off balance. Dave concedes he tried to fade the Colts but can't find a reason, betting their team total over and calling Taylor's MVP candidacy legitimate. The panel converges on one Thursday night lock: Baltimore over Miami. Lamar Jackson's return, Derek Henry's resurgence, and a rested defense push Munaf to lay seven and a half, expecting a 10-point Ravens win. Dave hesitates but acknowledges Miami's soft run defense and Baltimore's health edge. Mack backs it with logic — Thursday road favorites win when the talent gap's wide, and this gap feels enormous. Contest talk shifts to Survivor. Last week's carnage cut Circa's field in half, and this week the big chalk lies with the Lions and Rams. Dave takes Detroit, trusting Jared Goff's efficiency and a post-bye edge against an overmatched Minnesota team. Munaf lists backups: Rams over the Saints and Packers over Carolina. Mack, managing a live ticket with Dan Rivera, leans Rams, citing quarterback mismatches as the week's safest survival path. As the show closes, they riff on Vegas math, underdog psychology, and how every “easy” pick hides danger. Contest life is about patience — protect value, trust quarterback-coach pairings, and don't chase emotion. For Munaf, Houston's rise and Baltimore's revival headline a week that reminds everyone why November separates contenders from the rest: preparation beats chaos, and surviving another Sunday might be the biggest win of all.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down NFL Week 9 fantasy football. The guys also preview Thursday Night football Ravens at Dolphins Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji — Week 9 Fantasy Focus Week 9 arrives with playoff hopes on the line and the fantasy margins thinner than ever. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji dig into the chaos of byes, injuries, and the Thursday night clash between Baltimore and Miami. The Ravens finally welcome Lamar Jackson back, and his presence reshapes both the offense and the week's fantasy outlook. Derrick Henry looks revitalized and ready to punish a Miami defense that's struggled to stop the run despite holding Bijan Robinson in check. The expectation is a heavy dose of ground dominance mixed with Lamar's creative spark. Baltimore sits near a touchdown favorite, and while Miami's coming off a shock win over Atlanta, this feels like a classic correction spot. Fantasy managers are weighing trust: Rashod Bateman, quiet for most of the year, gets another chance with Lamar at full strength; Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell become late-game upside plays. For the Dolphins, Malik Washington remains a sneaky target option as volume keeps him fantasy relevant. Beyond Thursday, Rod and Munaf circle the season's pivot points — players who can define playoff pushes. Woody Marks has quietly turned into a reliable producer in Houston, blending rushing and receiving work in double-digit weeks. Travis Hunter's breakout for Jacksonville was dazzling but risky to repeat. Taj Spears continues to carve into Tony Pollard's usage in Tennessee, proving that efficiency and timing matter more than depth-chart labels. Christian Watson's return instantly boosts Green Bay's vertical threat, while emerging names like Troy Franklin and Bam Knight headline deep-league wish lists. As Rod notes, it's the stretch when every decision can tilt an entire season. Start confidence matters more than ceiling projections; knowing when to trust floor plays can separate contenders from dreamers. For Munaf, the metrics say Baltimore's offense explodes and Henry hits the over on both rushing attempts and yards. For Rod, the flex debate dominates the week — Bateman's boom potential versus Washington's steady volume. The conclusion is the same: keep the lineup flexible, trust usage over hype, and ride the matchups that feel sustainable, not just exciting. Week 9 rewards those who read momentum rather than panic over one bad week. With Lamar's return and fantasy teams clawing for playoff life, Thursday night sets the tone for a make-or-break stretch across the league. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler discuss NFL Week 8 contest selections. Munaf Manji hosts the NFL Week 8 Contest Podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview with Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler, discussing ATS and Survivor contest picks. Munaf opens by reviewing Week 7 results: 204 Circus Survivor entries were eliminated, leaving 4,214 alive, and the top-five Circa Millions picks went 4-1. Mackenzie opens with his ATS pick, taking the Commanders +12.5 versus the Chiefs, citing overreaction to quarterback changes and favorable historical data for double-digit underdogs after losing as road favorites. Munaf agrees, saying Mariota can manage the game if turnovers are limited, while Dave supports them, noting key receivers' returns and the Chiefs' tough schedule ahead. Dave's pick is the Patriots -7 versus the Browns, backing New England's home advantage and Drake Maye's strong play since Week 1; he cites Cleveland's poor road record and rookie QB Dylan Gabriel's first hostile start. Munaf expands that the Browns are 1-11 straight up and 2-10 ATS on the road, losing by double digits frequently, while Mackenzie notes past “home-after-road-trip” data is now neutral. Munaf's pick is the 49ers +1.5 at Houston, calling it a “wrong team favored” game, criticizing the Texans' O-line, injury issues (notably Nico Collins), and inconsistency. Mackenzie admits concern about San Francisco's defense post-Bosa but likes their matchup versus Houston's weak front, and Dave agrees, joining the 49ers side. They promote Pregame.com contests, including Beat Dave Esler NBA and discounts using codes “touchdown20” for football access and “NBA75” for Mackenzie's NBA package. Transitioning to Survivor strategy, Munaf reviews Week 8's large favorites: Patriots, Bills, Eagles, Bengals, Falcons, Ravens, Colts (-14), and Chiefs (-12.5). Dave recommends Dallas as a gutsy Survivor pick, citing Denver's vulnerable defense and Dallas's offensive weapons, while acknowledging risks. Munaf supports that approach, also suggesting the 49ers and Falcons as alternate Survivor plays, emphasizing the need for strategic diversification instead of burning elite teams early. Mackenzie jokes that he never picks underdogs in Survivor but recalls Fezzik's accidental underdog win that clinched a contest. He mentions saving the Colts for Week 8, the largest favorite, while Dave argues underdogs can be valuable if used selectively. Munaf concludes that multiple entries allow experimentation with smaller favorites and strategic conservation of power teams for later weeks, reinforcing the depth of Survivor planning discussed in Mack and Dan's dedicated Survivor Pod. The episode ends with camaraderie among the hosts—Mackenzie, Dave, and Munaf—signing off with humor about dinner and their usual “good luck with your bets” closing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Week 8 fantasy football. The guys also preview TNF Vikings at Chargers. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji open their Week 8 fantasy football podcast on Straight Outta Vegas AM reflecting on the season's midpoint, recent fantasy highs, and successful betting calls from the prior week. They preview Thursday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, debating both sides' quarterback uncertainty—Carson Wentz starting while J.J. McCarthy heals—and the Chargers' inconsistency under Justin Herbert. Both favor the Chargers at roughly -3, leaning over 44.5 total points, expecting a potentially high-scoring matchup. They analyze fantasy angles: Wentz's passing volume, Justin Jefferson's steady yardage but reduced touchdowns, Jordan Addison's emergence, and Keenan Allen's revived reliability for Los Angeles. Munaf suggests live-betting Wentz's passing props and targeting overs on Jefferson and Herbert, while Rod backs Addison's over 54.5 receiving yards and Allen's 80.5 as safe plays. Discussion shifts to the Chargers' struggling backfield amid Hassan Haskins' injury and Herbert's reliance on passing; both agree Jordan Mason should remain the Vikings' RB1 even with Aaron Jones possibly returning. They emphasize benching Quentin Johnston due to target decline and highlight rookie tight end Aranda Gaston Munoz as a strong fantasy pickup after 164 yards and a touchdown, available in most leagues. Transitioning to fantasy flex debates, they recommend DeAndre Swift over Rhamondre Stevenson against Baltimore's softer rush defense, Hollywood Brown over Marvin Mims thanks to consistent red-zone usage from Mahomes, and Devonta Smith over Rome Odunze given Smith's rising targets with Hurts airing it out. They pick Deebo Samuel over Sterling Shepard, citing Samuel's explosiveness versus Shepard's shallow routes, and suggest Tamir Dyke as a sleeper WR if Calvin Ridley remains sidelined for Tennessee. Munaf projects a pass-heavy Titans game script behind Cam Ward, while Rod turns to running backs, backing Chicago's Kyle Monangai as a sneaky play over Nick Chubb, who's losing work to Woody Marks behind Houston's poor O-line. They close noting San Francisco's elite run defense and the Texans' bleak rushing outlook, agreeing Chubb may be droppable. Wrapping up, they highlight Pregame's NBA “Beat Dave Esler” contest, a $1,000 prize opportunity, and the “Touchdown20” promo for football all-access packages. Both hosts thank listeners, stress the fantasy season's tightening playoff race, and promise more betting and roster advice in next week's show, mixing friendly rivalry, humor, and practical fantasy takeaways for Week 8 managers aiming to stay profitable and playoff-bound.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down the opening games for the NBA season on Wednesday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji opens the RJ Bell's Dream Preview NBA podcast, back from being under the weather and ready for the new season. With 13 games on Wednesday's slate, he and Mackenzie Rivers break down four key matchups, offering sides, totals, and best bets. They begin with the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden facing the New York Knicks. The Cavs are 1.5-point favorites with Darius Garland out, DeAndre Hunter questionable, and Max Strus recovering from foot surgery. The Knicks are missing Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, while Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable with a quad strain. Mackenzie likes the Cavs, citing their improved offense, depth, and consistency, noting that even without Garland they're better structured and cohesive. He argues the Knicks' injury list and new coaching approach create uncertainty, favoring Cleveland's early-season form. Munaf agrees, expecting Donovan Mitchell to shine and dominate offensively, particularly with the Knicks lacking frontcourt strength. Both lean slightly toward the over at 227.5, anticipating a strong Cavs offensive showing. Next, they preview the 76ers visiting the Celtics, Boston favored by 2.5. With Paul George, Jared McCain, and Trenton Watford out for Philly and Jason Tatum sidelined for Boston, Mackenzie sees both teams uncertain but leans Sixers due to Joel Embiid's presence, citing his offseason conditioning and potential resurgence. Munaf shares optimism for Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, predicting a big game and slight Sixers edge against Boston's thin frontcourt. For the Spurs at Mavericks matchup, Dallas is -2.5, with key absences including De'Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk, and Jeremy Sochan for San Antonio and Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, and Dante Exum for Dallas. Mackenzie leans Spurs, expecting Victor Wembanyama to impress against Anthony Davis, while acknowledging Dallas's experience advantage. They debate rookie Cooper Flagg's outlook, agreeing he's talented but unlikely to have a historically impactful rookie season, noting his youth and the rarity of immediate dominance. Munaf adds that Flaggs' Rookie of the Year odds are overvalued given his supporting cast. They touch on Dallas as a trendy Western Conference pick, with Mackenzie calling it “a hipster choice” but doubting their title chances given chemistry and reliance on a rookie. Munaf concurs, seeing potential but too many variables. Wrapping up, they promote the “Beat Dave Esler NBA Contest” at pregame.com, with $1,000 in prizes and a $75-off code (NBA75) for Mackenzie's full-season picks package. In best bets, Mackenzie doubles down on Cavaliers -1.5, emphasizing matchup dominance, cohesion, and depth. Munaf's best bet is the Chicago Bulls +4.5 vs. Detroit, citing preseason sharpness, defensive improvement, and Detroit's injuries and lack of reliable scoring beyond Cade Cunningham. Mackenzie agrees, backing dogs early-season trends. They close with light banter about gas prices and Munaf's Houston connections before signing off, urging listeners to subscribe and enjoy opening week of the NBA season.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA action to get you ready for season tip-off. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers tip off the final preseason Dream Preview pod before the 2025-26 NBA season, reviewing win-total moves, roster news, and championship outlooks. They note minor market shifts after injuries: VanVleet's torn ACL drops Houston slightly, LeBron's sciatica lowers the Lakers from 48.5 to 46.5 wins, and Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year deal while Keegan Murray nurses an injury. Their power rankings open with Denver, Golden State, Houston, and Minnesota in a near tie, joined by the Cavs, Clippers, and Thunder. Munaf edges Denver over Golden State for balance and depth, while Mackenzie touts the Clippers' underrated strength versus market skepticism. Both put Oklahoma City and Cleveland atop the league, debating whether Giannis's future or trades could reshape the field. They agree Minnesota's Anthony Edwards is elite yet not proven as a true championship alpha; he scores big but lacks sustained playoff efficiency. The Rockets intrigue with Kevin Durant's arrival but lose VanVleet's stabilizing playmaking; Amen Thompson's defense and Reed Sheppard's shooting are swing factors. Mackenzie fears spacing issues; Munaf sees potential if Sheppard hits threes. They finalize top fives: Thunder, Cavs, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors for Mack; Thunder, Cavs, Denver, Warriors, Knicks for Munaf. Title odds show Thunder +245, Nuggets 6-1, Cavs 7.5-1, Knicks 8.5-1, Rockets 11-1. Mack picks Thunder over Cavs; Munaf predicts Knicks emerge from the East, citing depth, health, and Brunson's leadership, while both name Golden State the best non-Thunder Western threat. They expect Knicks-Thunder Finals (12-1 exact) with Knicks as a value play at 30-1. In division futures, they call the Cavs locks in the Central, Magic favorites in the Southeast, Bulls as a win-total over sleeper, and Thunder runaway winners in the Northwest. Spurs, led by Wembanyama's ascendance, are their pick to challenge Houston in the Southwest; Dallas could surprise if Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis mesh. They project the Pacific race between Warriors (+185) and Clippers (+175), favoring Golden State's health and chemistry. Discussion closes on Jonathan Kuminga's two-year $48 M deal—potential trade chip more than core piece. Best bets: Mackenzie likes Milwaukee under 43.5 wins due to defensive decline and Giannis uncertainty; Munaf backs Memphis under 41.5 given injuries to Bane, Clark, and weak defense. They also praise Orlando's continuity, fade Atlanta overhype, and recommend Thunder futures as the smart chalk. Closing plugs remind listeners to grab Mackenzie's season package and enter Pregame's Beat Dave Esler contest for $500 prizes. Both hosts sign off energized for tip-off and weekly NBA coverage ahead.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 7 player props. Munaf Manji hosts RJ Bell's Dream Preview Week 7 Props episode with Sleepy J, recapping the Bengals-Steelers Thursday night shootout and Joe Flacco's resurgence before diving into their best player props. Both agree on quarterback Jaden Daniels over 1.5 passing touchdowns at -120 against Dallas, citing the Cowboys' busted coverages and a 54.5 total that implies heavy scoring. Sleepy's running back prop is Bijan Robinson over 121.5 rushing and receiving yards versus the 49ers, expecting a huge game with linebacker Fred Warner sidelined. Munaf counters with Quinshon Judkins over 85.5 rushing yards versus Miami, predicting a ground-heavy game due to bad weather and the Dolphins' porous run defense. For wide receivers, Sleepy likes Courtland Sutton over 56.5 receiving yards, noting his consistent target share and the Giants' tendency to surrender explosive plays. Munaf takes Jackson Smith-Njigba longest reception over 26.5 yards versus Houston, trusting his knack for separation and the Texans' vulnerable secondary. Sleepy's tight end play is Jets' Mason Taylor over 41.5 receiving yards against Carolina, projecting volume with Garrett Wilson likely out and the Panthers ranking worst versus tight ends. Munaf mirrors the logic with Buccaneers' Cade Otton over 41.5 yards versus Detroit, expecting elevated usage amid injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Touchdown props: Sleepy backs Saquon Barkley (-115) to score as the Eagles return to a run-first identity; Munaf picks Washington's Jakorian Merritt (-125) to find the end zone versus Dallas and sprinkles on CeeDee Lamb (+115) on the other side. Their agreed best bet: Texans QB CJ Stroud over 223.5 passing yards Monday night against Seattle, supported by recent trends showing QBs regularly topping this number versus the Seahawks, Seattle's strong run defense forcing Houston to throw, and injuries in Seattle's secondary. Sleepy notes Stroud's protection has improved, making Houston's passing attack viable. Both expect the Texans to stay competitive behind Stroud's arm.

Munaf closes by stressing the ongoing momentum of the NFL, NBA, and NHL seasons and thanking listeners for supporting the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Player prop betting for Week 6. RJ Bell's Dream Preview returned for NFL Week 6 with hosts Munaf Manji and SleepyJ diving into player prop bets, storylines, and betting insights. The episode opened with the duo reflecting on a surprising Thursday night upset where the Giants beat the Eagles. SleepyJ attributed the result to differing team mindsets—Philadelphia's lack of hunger versus New York's youthful energy and confidence. Munaf noted how rookie quarterback Jackson Dart and running back Cam Scadaboo have injected life into the Giants' offense, while Philadelphia's issues with offensive rhythm and underperforming stars like Saquon Barkley continue to raise concerns. Transitioning to their betting picks, SleepyJ began with a bold play on Browns rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel to surpass 183.5 passing yards against a weak Steelers secondary, citing multiple mediocre quarterbacks who had already torched Pittsburgh for over 200 yards. Munaf supported the pick, agreeing that game script and defensive inefficiency favored the over. Munaf's first prop focused on Justin Herbert surpassing 19.5 rushing yards versus Miami, explaining that the Chargers' injuries on the offensive line and backfield would force Herbert to scramble more. SleepyJ then paired that with Hassan Haskins over 37.5 rushing yards, arguing that Los Angeles would emphasize the run against a historically bad Dolphins rush defense. The two also discussed Rico Dowdle of the Panthers, taking him to exceed 77.5 rushing yards versus his former team, the Cowboys, driven by motivation and a struggling Dallas defense. Their conversation then shifted to wide receivers. SleepyJ targeted Tetairoa McMillan of Carolina to go over 70.5 receiving yards, calling for a breakout performance against the Cowboys' porous pass defense. Munaf agreed, noting McMillan's consistent target share and developing chemistry with Bryce Young. Munaf's receiver pick was Travis Hunter of Jacksonville over 36.5 receiving yards against the Seahawks, expecting increased involvement due to Seattle's depleted secondary and growing rapport with Trevor Lawrence. SleepyJ added depth with tight end props—Darren Waller and Hunter Henry both to go over their yardage totals, plus a sleeper mention of Rams wideout Tutu Atwell against Baltimore's injured secondary. Munaf closed the section with Tucker Kraft of the Packers over 46.5 receiving yards, leaning on the Bengals' weakness versus tight ends. The hosts then moved to touchdown props: SleepyJ chose Kyren Williams of the Rams to score, citing heavy usage, while Munaf picked Michael Pittman Jr. at +150 odds, expecting him to thrive against Arizona's defense. For their joint best bet, they agreed on Josh Jacobs of Green Bay over 78.5 rushing yards versus the Bengals, predicting a high-volume workload against one of the league's softest run defenses. They wrapped by reminding listeners to use the Dime10 promo code at pregame.com for discounts and teased next week's episode, confident their deep-cut prop selections—though unconventional—offered significant betting value. The show mixed humor, sharp statistical insight, and situational analysis, showcasing both handicappers' commitment to finding undervalued players and exploiting weak defenses in Week 6's NFL slate.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL contests for week 4. Munaf Manji (0:06 – 2:21) opened by welcoming listeners, recapping Week 3, and noting that Circa Survivor lost 3,154 entries with 13,811 remaining, each valued at $1,355. He emphasized that fading the top five most-selected teams has been profitable as they went 2-12-1 ATS at Westgate and 3-12 ATS at Circa, with one entry leading Circa Millions at 14-1. Sleepy J (5:45 – 8:53) chose the Titans +7 vs the Texans, saying “I think the Titans are slowly building. Cam Ward is looking a little bit better each and every game.” He highlighted Houston's lowest points per game, Tank Dell's absence, Mixon's struggles, and a weak offensive line. He argued Tennessee is hungrier and capable of an outright win. Munaf (8:53 – 10:08) agreed, calling the Texans' line inflated, citing receiver losses, Nick Chubb's decline, and predicting a fairer line closer to six. Dave Essler (10:09 – 10:43) also agreed, calling +7 too many points, though doubting Tennessee's ability to win outright. Mackenzie Rivers (10:52 – 12:06) picked Buccaneers +3.5 over the Eagles, arguing “The Eagles have underperformed all season. If you look at advanced stats, they could easily be one and two or oh and three.” He dismissed Philadelphia's late-game magic, noted Wirfs' return, Mayfield's strong play, and called the line exaggerated. Dave (13:27 – 16:29) agreed on Tampa, then picked the Broncos -7.5 over the Bengals, pointing to Denver's defense being top 10 in yards per play, number two in the red zone, and number one in TDs not allowed per game, while Cincinnati averaged only 49 rushing yards per game with Browning already turnover-prone. Munaf (16:30 – 17:12) backed this, citing Chase Brown's meager 93 yards on 2.0 YPC and Browning's five interceptions. Sleepy (17:14 – 19:17) hesitated on Denver due to the spread, saying “I would much rather pick a dead number game” but admitted Cincinnati's WRs could still threaten Denver's defense. Munaf (19:17 – 21:45) chose Steelers +2.5 vs Vikings in Dublin, pointing out Wentz faces new pressure, Pittsburgh's defense improved with T.J. Watt, and Jalen Warren emerged as a passing-game weapon. He predicted mistakes from Wentz would cost Minnesota. Sleepy (21:59 – 23:58) liked the Steelers too, stressing the importance of the 2.5 line in a low-total game, warning Wentz has struggled under pressure and “when you get a level-headed Aaron Rodgers, you don't get five turnovers.” Mackenzie (24:37 – 26:52) disagreed, backing Vikings, criticizing Rodgers' rankings (31st in PFF, 22nd in QBR), pointing to Pittsburgh's poor metrics, and saying “Favorites do well internationally.” Dave (27:07 – 27:50) sided with Mack, calling Pittsburgh's run game the second worst in the league and Rodgers incapable of carrying them. Survivor picks followed: Dave (30:12 – 32:01) took Patriots over Panthers, dismissing Carolina's win as turnover-driven, while Sleepy (32:06 – 35:42) also chose New England, adding, “How many chances are you going to get to really play New England? I think the chances to play them is this week.” Munaf (35:42 – 37:33) added Denver and possibly Texans as options but leaned Broncos. Mackenzie (37:34 – 38:50) favored Detroit, citing a profitable trend where underdogs who win as big dogs typically fail the next week, saying, “The Browns traveling to Detroit get smoked. And I think Carolina also is going to be a little bit overmatched in New England.” The show closed with humor, coupon codes, and Dave joking about being offered Fritos for Chase Brown, ending with optimism about continuing to deliver valuable picks Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 3 recap. Plus, the guys dive into MNF Ravens and Lions. Munaf Manji (0:14 – 1:13) opened by recapping Week 3, noting the Chiefs' 22–9 win over the Giants. He stressed New York's failure to score a touchdown and hinted at looming coaching and quarterback questions. The Chiefs covered –5.5, the total stayed under, and the game was defined by defense. Mackenzie Rivers (2:25 – 4:13) said, “the Chiefs defense now three games in a row has been pretty good,” but highlighted offensive struggles with Travis Kelce at just 26 yards and Hollywood Brown leading in receiving. He framed Kansas City's attack as steady but no longer explosive. Munaf (4:13 – 6:26) pointed to Isaiah Pacheco's 45 rushing yards on 10 carries and Taekwon Thornton's 71 yards and a touchdown. He noted Harrison Butker's missed kicks left four points on the field, yet argued Kansas City remains in control of the AFC West. Discussion shifted to the Giants (6:44 – 9:26). Fans called for Russell Wilson's benching, while Mackenzie criticized Jackson Dart's limited usage and compared Malik Nabers' inefficiency to Carmelo Anthony. Survivor contest carnage followed (9:33 – 12:16). Nearly 3,000 entries were eliminated after Packers and Falcons losses, leaving only 58 alive. Mackenzie mocked anyone who picked the Dolphins as “setting your money on fire.” Market moves (12:16 – 26:25) showed upgrades for the Browns (+1.5), Vikings (+1.5 with Wentz's 173 yards, 2 TDs), and Colts (+1.5 behind Jonathan Taylor's 102 yards and 3 TDs). Downgrades hit the Cowboys (–2), Packers, Bengals with Jake Browning's 5 picks, and Titans for a 3–17 ATS record. Munaf stressed Houston's NFL-worst 38 points scored in three games. The preview (27:13 – 35:18) focused on Lions vs. Ravens. Detroit was +4.5 after scoring 52 against Chicago, while Baltimore's defense allowed 4.67 yards per carry. Munaf liked Jared Goff over 35.5 pass attempts, expecting volume. Both leaned Detroit +4.5. Closing (35:18 – 43:34) included Pregame.com's $10-for-$50 bulk dollars promo, Mackenzie's reminder that five of the last seven games with totals over 53 involved Detroit and went over, and a cautious lean under. They ended with best bets on Detroit +4.5 and excitement for the NBA season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 3. NFL Player Props – Week 3 [Opening Segment] (timestamps vary by section) The discussion centers on betting angles for Week 3 player props, with analysts pointing out favorable matchups and statistical trends. Direct quotes reveal a focus on efficiency and expected production. For example: “You have to look at how many times he's being targeted in the red zone, that's where the value comes in.” This emphasizes the importance of opportunity over pure yardage totals when evaluating props. [Quarterbacks] Attention is given to pass attempts and touchdowns. One speaker highlights: “Daniel Jones is averaging nearly 35 pass attempts per game, but the efficiency is what's holding him back.” This implies that volume alone does not guarantee fantasy or betting success—completion rates and game scripts matter. [Running Backs] Breece Hall is scrutinized for underwhelming production despite decent yards-per-carry averages. “He's sitting at 4.7 per carry, but without consistent usage, you can't back the over.” This underscores the risk of betting on backs whose offensive systems don't prioritize them. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason is framed as an emerging value: “He's looked better than Aaron Jones on limited touches, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.” This points to his growing role in the Vikings' backfield. [Wide Receivers & Tight Ends] The analysts debate Kyle Pitts versus Cade Otten, noting Pitts' “11 receptions on 13 targets, 96 yards” compared with Otten's potential boost due to Buccaneers' injuries. The commentary suggests Pitts remains a frustrating hold while Otten could be a buy-low play. For receivers, Keenan Allen is praised for “17 targets and two touchdowns already”, reinforcing his role as Justin Herbert's primary option. [Team-Level Context] Defenses are tied into betting strategy. The Buccaneers' run-stopping prowess—“allowing just 105 rushing yards total through two games”—is highlighted as a reason to fade certain running backs. Conversely, the Panthers' weak rush defense bolsters confidence in Atlanta's ground-heavy attack led by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Learn more about your ad choices.
